Portwest A626 Nitrile Vis-Tex HR Cut-Resistant Work Gloves

High-Visibility Dual-Protection Safety Performance

The Portwest A626 Nitrile Vis-Tex HR Cut-Resistant Work Gloves are premium protective gear engineered for high-risk industrial applications where visibility, mechanical impact, and heat threats coexist. Featuring a vibrant, high-visibility yellow liner and a bright red palm coating, these gloves maximize safety compliance on busy job sites by ensuring hand movements are clearly discernible. They are the ideal choice for heavy handling tasks demanding superior dexterity and reliable safety awareness.

Advanced Structural Cut Resistance and Composite Liner

At the foundation of the A626 is a premium 13-gauge seamless composite liner knitted from high-performance polyethylene (HPPE) and resilient glass fibers. This intricate configuration provides exceptional tactile feedback while establishing high-level defense against slashing lacerations and puncture hazards. The glove successfully achieves an EN 388 Level D cut resistance rating and an ANSI Level A4 cut defense standard, protecting hands from sharp edges, glass panes, and sheared metallic borders.

Double-Dipped Sandy Nitrile Coating for Extreme Grip

To maximize grip resilience, the palm and fingertips feature a rugged double-dipped sandy nitrile coating. This specialized surface structure channels away surface fluids, light lubricants, and workspace grimes, ensuring an uncompromising, non-slip hold on slick materials. The palm-dipped format is engineered to enhance overall ventilation through the open back of the hand while boosting resistance to mechanical abrasions, earning an impressive ANSI Level 6 abrasion rating.

Certified Contact Heat Shielding

Beyond cut safety, the Vis-Tex HR design incorporates thermal security. Tested under stringent EN 407 parameters, these gloves deliver Level 1 contact heat protection. This certified barrier safeguards workers against convective thermal transfers, allowing the wearer to safely manage components measuring up to 100°C (212°F). Finished with an integrated elasticated knit wrist cuff, the glove blocks incoming abrasive slag, metallic dust, and flying workshop particles from infiltrating the liner core.

Primary Industrial Work Settings

• Automotive Assembly & Machining: Provides exceptional grip and protection when manipulating greasy powertrain components and sharp mechanical panels.

• Glass Manufacturing & Glazing: Minimizes bare-hand contact risk when lifting, positioning, and sorting heavy, slick panes of glass.

• Construction & Masonry: Delivers rugged abrasion defense for workers handling abrasive brickwork, steel rebar, and structural framing.

• Logistics & Heavy Material Handling: Keeps rapid package sorting and loading crews safe with long-lasting, fatigue-reducing hand wear.
